THE PURPOSE OF THE VAN TIL PERSPECTIVE ACCORDING TO VAN TIL: TO PROTECT CHRIST'S LITTLE ONES
THE PURPOSE OF THE VAN TIL PERSPECTIVE ACCORDING TO VAN TIL:
"TO PROTECT CHRIST'S LITTLE ONES"
Those of us who are vantillians appreciate how helpful the Van Til Perspective is in understanding the Biblical world-view and how it contrasts with the various Humanist philosophies and other non-Christian philosophies. I just learned last week in a recently published article that approximately forty years ago that the author of this article visited Van Til and asked him why he had devoted his life to philosophy and apologetics. He said that Van Til replied: "to protect Christ's little ones". I had never heard this before, and I find it quite striking and poignant. Rather than say anything more about this, I would like to ask you to meditate upon it -- it affords a little known side of Van Til, and it indicates the great importance of the Van Til Tool!
This article, titled "To Protect Christ's Little Ones" was written by Dr. Allen Guelzo, a professor at Gettysburg College, and published in the Summer/Fall 2016 issue of Cairn Magazine, which is an excerpt of the article he originally published at www.ChristianityToday.com on November 13, 2015.
Sincerely,
Forrest
